- Pack stroller with boys & Gatorade
- Locate the part of your weed picking duties that is the most concentrated, or if that doesn't exist then just the part of your yard that is going to take you the longest.
- Place weed deposit bin there. ( bonus tip: recycling bin works well for this )
- Find shaded area very near to this location to put the stroller
- Pick weeds
- Wait for crying to commence...if you have children this will happen
- When crying starts:
- Roll stroller to weeds that are in a distant part of the yard ( for me weed bin was in back yard and we rolled up to the front yard )
- Pick a single large weed
- Note: never pick more then one weed at a time, you may likely need that weed later
- Roll back to bin
- Deposit large weed in bin
- If Crying continues go back and pick another large weed.
- When crying stops continue picking weeds in the heavily concentrated area
- Repeat step 7 whenever the crying starts again

How to pick weeds with Crabby Babies
I NEEDED to pick weeds today. But the boys were pretty cranky today, in fact I think that Kevin may have a bit of a tummy ache. So how was I going to pick weeds. I couldn't just let the boys cry out in the back yard. So I developed a system, employing my own newly coined system of efficiency through inefficiency.

This is just too funny Jason - about how to be efficient with your inefficiencies and it seems you have it worked out extremely well. I'm sure the boys did not cry at all and instead loved being outdoors with you!
I'm not so lucky...they defiantly cried. But with ever walk to pick a big weed it got longer and longer in between their cries.
